Hi everyone,
ColourPop ultra satin lip products are one of the best lipstick formulas available in the market. They are comfortable, long wearing and a good alternative to their “ultra-matte” liquid lipsticks. In this post, I will review the shade “Calypso.”
Price:
$6.00 USD for 0.11 oz.
Product Description:
High pigmentation and a satin-matte finish in liquid lipstick form to keep your lips soft and comfy all day long. You’ll feel free spirited in this mid-tone pink.
My Experience with ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip Calypso:
The packaging is a pretty standard clear tube with holographic writing on the side – ColourPop Ultra Satin. The bottom of the tube specifies the name “Calypso.” The tube has a silver cap. The applicator is a standard doe-foot wand. The applicator allows me to fill in the corner of the lips easily. The product comes in a white cardboard box with the name of the product and the ingredients list. The packaging is very travel friendly.
The texture of this liquid lipstick is a bit mousse-y and liquid-y. The main difference between ultra-matte and ultra-satin is that the ultra-satins do not dry completely matte. This lipstick dries velvety matte within a few minutes after application, so if there any errors, you can easily correct them.
The doe-foot applicator is a bit fluffy which makes it a bit hard to fill in the corners of the lips with ease. There is a chemical fragrance to the lipstick which personally doesn’t bother me. Another major difference between the ultra-matte and ultra-satin formulas is that the latter does not give kiss-proof, budge-proof finish. It does transfer a lot; however, it is very long lasting. You should probably exfoliate your lips for flawless finish. The ultra-satin formula doesn’t dry your lips and give a smooth finish. It’s the most comfortable liquid lipstick.
The lipstick is super pigmented and super opaque, it imparts full coverage even if the lips are pigmented.
“Calypso” is described as a ‘mid-toned pink’ and it is indeed a very beautiful warm pink shade. This shade will suit all skin tones. When you first apply the lipstick, it will be satiny finish however it turns matte as the time passes by. You can also blot it with paper if you need an instant matte lip look. The finish is creamy at first and turns into a long-lasting matte lipstick.
The staying power is really good with this lipstick. It stays on for around 7 hours without the need to reapply. However, it will start fading if you eat oily meals.
Overall, I am really happy with the colour pay off, the texture and the longevity of the lipstick. The lipstick can be easily removed with an oil-based makeup remover. Overall, I am really impressed with the longevity and the feel of the lipstick Calypso.
